Yes -- perfect ;-) And above all, I think it would be great to hear more 
about their work.

Hoping they'd be interested in making the journey? I think they need a 
visum for Belgium btw:

Yes, I contacted Denis Jacquerye on this but might contact ANloc 
directly too. Do you know who else I could contact?

Our pleasure :-)
